Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

It's even possible that Oser has already sided with the Rock King, and that the reason he escaped the seal was by using this secret!

This was his only hope of turning the tide, so Ba Qiu was exceptionally 'clear-headed' at this moment.

Bang~~

The mirror was shattered by a jet of water, and Su Zhe's angry curses echoed through the underground space.

"Eight Dragons! Have you been driven mad by this imprisonment? You doubt me? You actually doubt that I've sided with humans? Damn it! I shouldn't have come here, I shouldn't have thought of getting hope of breaking the seal from you!"

"Do you think I sacrificed so much dignity and pride to deceive those two humans? To gain their trust, I even personally brought them here to help them eliminate your power. Use your pig brain to think about why I would do all that!?"

“You’ve been imprisoned for too long. Times have changed. Liyue is now the age of humans. They hold a pivotal position in the human world. Gaining their trust is equivalent to guaranteeing my safety and making it more likely that I will obtain a way to break the seal.”

"Alright! I don't have time to waste with you. Now I'm telling you to release them all. If you hear me, do as I say right now! Otherwise, I'm leaving right now, and you'll die here with this secret!"

This angry outburst finally had some effect; upon hearing that Su Zhe was leaving, Ba Qiu immediately became anxious.

He didn't care about Shen He and Ke Qing's life or death at all, but he was worried that if Su Zhe left, there would be no chance again.

Su Zhe is right. He is in control now. Unless Ba Qiu wants to die here forever with the secret, he has no choice but to obey.

"Ausel, calm down, don't be impulsive!"

Ba Qiu's tone softened, and he kindly advised Su Zhe, "Calm down, don't let anger consume your reason. I didn't say anything, you're just overthinking things."

Su Zhe sneered: "Calm down? Ha! Aren't you angry? Being locked up in a place like this for thousands of years, how the hell can you be in a good mood?"

Ba Qiu immediately fell silent.

Honestly, if he were allowed to leave, the first thing he would do is yell a few times in the direction of Liyue Harbor, curse Morax, and then... get out of this godforsaken place, Liyue, as quickly as possible.

Thinking about it this way, Su Zhe's behavior seems quite reasonable.

"Ok, I trust you."

"Get lost! Believe it or not."

"..."

Like an old computer experiencing a brief lag due to memory overload, Baqiu finally came to its senses after a while.

Immediately afterwards, he made the most important decision of his demonic career.

As the stone gate entrance flickered with a dim light, the entire underground space began to shake.

Finally, after expending a great deal of effort, Baqiu released something from the seal.

"for you."

Su Zhe controlled the water element to catch it.

It was an irregularly shaped object made of some unknown material.

Its surface is a deep, dark yellow, and its shape resembles a moon broken in the middle.

Su Zhe could sense that some special power was sealed inside, but he was unable to activate it with his abilities.

"Here, half of the night is sealed."

........

Chapter 59 Half a Night of Lockdown, Keqing: The Advantage Lies With Me

"Half a night? What does that mean?"

"I don't know the specifics either. You know, under those circumstances, I didn't even dare to reveal it after I got it, let alone try to uncover its secrets."

Ba Qiu could only find some clues from where he obtained half a piece of moonstone, and knew that it was about the secret of time, but there were some things that he did not dare to dig deeper, even if he realized them.

All I can say is that those who understand will understand, and those who don't can't help it.

“Yes, if that bastard Morax finds out, he’ll definitely kill you the moment he sees you. And since it involves secrets above the Seven Gods, it’s absolutely a taboo on the continent.”

"Yes, and Mondstadt wasn't exactly safe back then either... As for now, it should have stabilized after all these years, right? Only you and I know the truth about this, but only you can accomplish it, Oser. I'm entrusting the rest to you."

"Is it because you're too afraid to even look into it?"

"You can think of it this way: it's an opportunity, but also a crisis. I don't have your ambitions. Right now, all I want is to get out of here. I don't care about anything else, like the power of the Rock God or the power of time."

"Ausel, I don't want to stay here for another second. If I could get out, I would give up anything!"

Ba Qiu's voice gradually became low and suppressed, a sentiment Su Zhe deeply understood. As a demon god, one could live a long time, but sometimes, living a long time was not a happy thing.

Su Zhe was well aware of the pain of being sealed at the bottom of the sea. Although he remained wary of Ba Qiu, he wouldn't rule out releasing the guy if he could maintain his strength in the future.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Ba Qiu can listen to him.

Furthermore, Zhongli's stance is crucial. Based on the information Su Zhe obtained in his previous life, combined with Ausel's memories, he always felt that Zhongli's identity was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Everyone says Fengshen is cunning, but who can guarantee that this old man isn't?

None of the original seven gods were simple.

"Of course I'm willing to try, but as you can see, my body is too weak, so weak that I have to rely on humans to survive."

Su Zhe let out a sigh.

“Sometimes I even doubt whether I am a demon god. I am probably the most undignified demon god in all of Teyvat. But a voice in my heart tells me to live on and defeat Morax. As long as I can achieve this goal, it is worth it no matter what I have to pay.”

“Yes, Oser, I know, that’s why you approached those two humans… I understand your pain. Abandoning the dignity and pride of a demon god and associating with weak humans must be unbearable, but now you are our hope.”

A strange feeling of emotion welled up in Ba Qiu's heart.

What a disgrace it is for a powerful demon to stoop to associate with humans!

It's a good thing he doubted Osel; if he were the one being doubted, he would have turned around and left immediately.

Compared to O'Sel, he ultimately lacked a broader perspective.

"I will do my best."

Su Zhe said in a 'sad' tone.

"What does it matter if I have to temporarily give up my dignity for freedom and my dreams? Endure this moment, and I will surely have a place on that throne in the future!"

"Yes, that's the spirit! Osel, I believe in you!"

Seemingly stirred by Su Zhe's emotions, Ba Qiu also became excited.

Thus, the two peerless demons began to cherish each other at the bottom of the sea.

Not long after, the Eight Dragons withdrew their power from inside the stone gate.

Then Keqing wandered around and finally arrived at the door.

The girl's face showed a hint of confusion, as if she didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Strange...why did my power suddenly disappear?"

She stood at the stone gate entrance and looked inside. She had just walked along and ended up coming out.

When they came to their senses, they discovered that the demonic power inside had dissipated at some point, turning it into an ordinary secret realm.

Further inside was the location of the seal, but because of what had just happened, she dared not take that risk again.

"George, where's Shenhe?"

Su Zhe shook his big head.

"Have we encountered danger?"

Ke Qing's expression changed slightly. She was about to rush in to find Shen He when she saw the latter walking out from inside.

"I investigated and found that the seal was fine, just a few cracks. I reinforced it as my master instructed."

Shen He offered an explanation.

It was obvious that she had gone inside, and even if Ba Qiu didn't withdraw his power, she would eventually be able to get out on her own.

"Judging from this, what just happened should be the result of the spread of the demon god's power."

Ke Qing pondered for a moment.

Although the situation just now was troublesome, it was actually not very dangerous. She could tell that if the seal had really malfunctioned, she and Shen He wouldn't be standing here safely.

However, just in case, she planned to bring people in again to check everything thoroughly after she left.

"Let's go, Kyogre. We'll meet outside. Don't leave alone; I still need you to get me out of here."

Su Zhe nodded and dived into the water.

Deep within the stone gate, Ba Qiu, who had been silently observing all of this, couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Who would have thought that the once ferocious Vortex Demon God Oser would now be bullied by two little human girls?

The dignity of demons and gods, the pride of the strong.

A thousand-year-old feud, how cruel!

A sense of desolation welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel sorrow.

"Ausel... hang in there, sigh~"

...

Su Zhe was actually quite hesitant about Ishtar.

As one of the oldest ruling families, most of the things involving her are secrets of this world.

Once those secrets are discovered, they are very likely to be punished by the heavens, and who knows when they might be struck by lightning while walking outside.

Right, Orobas?

However, on the other hand, the reason why those people from Yuanxia Palace were able to reach Haiqi Island was partly because the 'Order of Heaven' was weakening. Although the principles of Heaven are powerful, they are not omnipotent.

So if you're careful, there shouldn't be any problems.

Besides, didn't the traveler find out about those things later?

Although Paimon is protecting me, it also proves that there is always an exception. Perhaps now is the time for change. She can sit on the throne, but I, Oser, cannot.

Well, what does Oser wanting to sit have to do with me, Georka?

If Georgia wants to sit, it's none of my business, Su Zhe's business.

In short, after much thought, Su Zhe decided to go and see. He didn't care about the news or information about the rule of time; all he cared about was the power to control time.

Whoosh~~
